re: Gun safety at the deer camp discussion

Then don't point it at something you don't intend to shoot. The only reason I would keep a weapon unloaded is children in the vicinity. Proper handling of a weapon is all the safety I need. If you need to unload your weapon to not accidentally shoot someone, I don't want to hunt with you. JMO.

I'm different than most I carried a loaded weapon in my recon platoon for 31 months total 3 tours in the Middle East. Never had an accidental discharge. Add those days up and most people won't hunt that many days in their lifetime. Advise me on why I should unload my weapon to get in the the stand.
